Passwords managers and hardware wallets are designed similarly: - They generate passwords and private keys securely - They store them securely - They login or sign with them securely
🚨 SCAM USDT - EXCHANGES IN BUENOS AIRES 🚨 Several months ago, a couple of individuals have been scamming mainly exchanges and financial institutions in Buenos Aires and nearby areas. The modus operandi is simple: they go to a car agency or real estate agency, saying that they have just completed a transaction and need to buy USDT (generally between $35,000 and $150,000), claiming they have cash dollars. The real estate agency or car agency proceeds to connect them with their trusted exchange (which, upon seeing that the customer comes referred, takes them at face value). Then the customer tells the exchange that they have previously tried to scam them, so they want to verify that they (the exchange) actually have the USDT, which is why they request a video call to see the wallet. In general, most exchanges in Buenos Aires operate with the Tron network and use Trust Wallet (a VERY BAD practice). During the video call, they ask them to open the Trust Wallet browser and go to https://usdt.report (DO NOT enter). Once there, they have them perform the "funds verification process," during which they make them accept an allowance (basically giving permissions to an external address to drain all the USDT). Once they do this, in less than 5 seconds, their wallet is emptied. Be VERY CAREFUL. They generally call from international numbers. - Always verify who you are dealing with and ask the person who referred you if they really know the individual. - Never do video calls or physical meetings or processes to "verify that they have the funds." - Do not use Trust Wallet when handling more than $5,000 USDT; there are much safer options using hardware wallets. - If the transaction is not exactly as usual and something seems off, CANCEL IT. This is one of the many ways they are targeting exchanges, financial institutions, and OTCs in Buenos Aires. If you want to ensure the safety of your entire structure and team, send me a DM. #StaySafe
Financial attention and caves of Buenos Aires: they are hacking several with different methods, but what we are seeing the most are hacked Trust wallets and WhatsApp accounts. For several tens of thousands of dollars. Do not give yourselves away.

Same applies if you save passwords, 2FAs and passkeys in the same place: iCloud, password manager, etc
